Reb — A friend recently sent me something which was very interesting. When President De Gaulle of France decided to take his country out of the military side of NATO, he also demanded that all American military personnel be withdrawn from French soil immediately.

American Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked De Gaulle: “Does that include those who are buried here?”

ACTivist, as a shareholder in Target, I’d appreciate a retraction or factual update to your original post. I don’t want anyone to misconstrue what you’ve written about this fine retail outfit as being fact. To everyone else, please shop at Target – it’s a great store that employs plenty of Americans. Plus, their commercials are very clever. Again, please spend your money at Target.

A run of Dick Forrey’s name through the web shows that ACT was far from being the only blogmeister who got caught up in this one. Same thing happened on a lot of blogs, followed by other posters subsequently chiming in with the actual facts in what may have been originally a mix up rather than a hoax. The original came out in 2002, and the thing has been picked up by unsuspecting blogmeisters ever since, not excluding military vets. I’ve never quite seen one like this before — almost like a computer virus which you cannot kill.

Looks to me like it was not Forrey involved in a hoax. What he sent originally looks nothing at all like this one. Appears that people with an agenda added things over the years before sending it on. Therein lies the hoax.
